Export submissions
Download a form's submissions as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets.
Every plan can export submissions. Exports are CSV files, and your submissions stay in your account after you export them.
Export
- Open the form's Inbox.
- Pick a filter: All, Unread, Starred or Spam. The export contains the submissions in that filter.
- Choose Export CSV.
The file is named after the form, like contact-form-submissions.csv, and downloads right away, even with thousands of submissions.
Columns
| Column | Contains |
|---|---|
id | The submission ID. |
created_at | When it was received, in UTC, like 2026-09-24T10:00:00.000Z. |
read | true or false. |
starred | true or false. |
is_spam | true or false. |
is_test | true for test submissions sent from the dashboard. |
| One column per field | The answers, in alphabetical order of field name. |
Rows are sorted newest first. A field that a submission didn't include is left empty.
Opening the file
- The file is UTF-8 with a byte order mark, so Excel shows accents, emoji and non-Latin scripts correctly.
- Answers that start with
=,+,-,@, a tab or a carriage return get a leading apostrophe, so a spreadsheet never runs them as formulas. - Uploaded files are not included. Download them from each submission.
Keep a live copy instead
To get every new submission in a spreadsheet as it arrives, connect Google Sheets. For other tools, use a webhook or Zapier and Make.
